About this listen

She needs a divorce from her husband—but a hurricane threatens to dredge up their stormy, passionate past in this sizzling romance from the bestselling author of Say You’ll Be Mine.

“The most amazing rollercoaster of big feels and humor and heart.”—Hannah Bonam-Young, author of Out on a Limb

“The second-chance, accidental-marriage novel fans of classic romcoms like Sweet Home Alabama and What Happens in Vegas are dying for.”—Danica Nava, author of The Truth According to Ember

It's been years since Meena separated from her husband, Nikhil . . . years since they first laid eyes on each other in their home state of Texas, years since they spontaneously wed in Las Vegas and she felt true happiness. Now a high-powered lawyer on Capitol Hill and ready to move on (at least, she thinks so) with another successful lawyer, Shake, Meena has returned to Texas. This time, finally to obtain a divorce.

But there’s one thing Meena didn’t account for: a hurricane forming in the Gulf, veering right toward them and giving them no choice but to hunker down in the home they had built together. Suddenly, she finds herself trapped amid gale-force winds and pelting rain with the man she once loved.

As they spend more time together, Meena begins to remember everything that drew her to Nikhil: his small-town charm, his thoughtful nature . . . his absurdly good looks. But being with Shake makes sense to her. He’s steady, ambitious, and wants exactly what she wants. So she’ll stick to her plan, come hell or high water. But will her windswept heart make the right choice, once the eye passes over and the storm settles?

With sharp observations about second chances at love, ambition and Indian American identity, and with characters who share an undeniable chemistry, Flirting with Disaster is a modern romance with the sensibility of a classic.

What the critics say

“Kumar’s characters are authentic and believable and their shared culture as Desi Americans enhances the stormy love story. Romance fans will be riveted.”—Publishers Weekly

Flirting With Disaster is achingly gorgeous and flooded with delicious tension that keeps you turning the pages. I couldn’t wait to see how Nikhil and Meena mended their bridges, and my heart was filled to the brim by their happily-ever-after. Another stunning romance from Naina Kumar.”—B.K. Borison, USA Today bestselling author of Lovelight Farms

“Equal parts tender, sweet, and deliciously angsty, Flirting with Disaster is the ultimate forced-proximity, second-chance romance. I laughed, I cried, I immediately wanted to read it all over again! I’ll read anything Naina Kumar writes.”—Ellie Palmer, author of Four Weekends and a Funeral
